Title: Good Legal Alternatives?
Post by: Ember_Primrose on May 01, 2016, 03:14:28 PM
Is there any good Alternatives for {Elusive Spellfist}, {Zephyr Scribe} and {Glint}, that has the same abilities and possibly color?

My guess is standard, and he's looking for a guy with prowess, a looter, and some combat tricks (hopefully garnering hexproof).

I would look into {Stormchaser Mage} and {Reckless Scholar}. Unfortunately, nothing else grants hexproof. If you want buffs, look at {lithomancer's focus} and {brute strength}.

Sorry, and she wants to do a combo. Infinite to be precise. Just for fun, although in standard yes. Basically the combo should be like: A spell that adds the following to a card: "{T}: Return target artifact to your hand." A creature that untaps everytime an artifact comes into play and a card that gets stronger when you play artifacts OR a cards akin to {Altar of the Brood}

Well this isn't quite the same but there's always
{Eldrazi displacer}
{brood monitor}
and something like {altar of the brood}

You won't find any standard artifacts like that I think. You might want to broaden your search

{impact tremors} of {Flayer drone} are standard legal.

I've been digging somewhat into standard legal cards and you can create a repeating loop with {ancestral statue} and {nettle drone}.
Just bounce the statue to itself.
The issue with this one is you need to generate {4} to be casting the statue. If you can manage to get out 4 {herald of Kozilek} you can go infinite, but there's no card in standard except the drone that untaps something whenever you cast a colorless spell.
I think the aforementioned combo is a lot more viable.
